High Desert and Lake Retreat

BernieRating, 5 stars4 days ago

It’s the perfect place for a small group of four people. Every inch of the place is covered in art and we spent a lot of time looking at each and every piece of art. There’s an electronic organ, a guitar, and even a didgeridoo. The silence is powerful and the night sky is luminous. Loved every minute.

Historic Home, Orchard & Fishing Pond Walk to Town

HollyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I really liked Zora's place. It was a great location and clean and comfortable. There was nothing negative about the house I can think of. Really cool property. We took a walk down to the pond in the morning. There was some bugs outside this time of year but not too bad. Would definitely rent this again.

Majestic Private Mountain Glamping Oasis

SteveRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Angelica's place is very beautiful nestled in between the mountains, peaceful and quiet. She is very responsive to any questions or needs. The donkey's and goats were very friendly. My kid had a wonderful time petting and feeding the animals. I think it was the highlight. There were citrus trees there that she let us pick from. The fruits were delicious. If you want a place to get away from and be isolated and absolute quiet, then this is the place. Glad we got the chance to enjoy the getaway.

A custom cedar soaking tub is nestled in a rocky area, surrounded by natural landscaping. Two wooden lounge chairs are positioned nearby, offering views of the rolling hills and greenery in the distance. A clear blue sky completes the serene outdoor setting.

Unique Mountain Gem: Sauna ~ Hot Tub ~ Scenic View

MeghanRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We absolutely loved staying at Neil’s place! Amazing location as it was a very short drive into Julian for restaurants, etc. but also far enough out to offer incredible views and privacy. The house is well stocked with everything you might need. Plus Neil was a fantastic host with great communication and flexibility. Highly recommend!

Peaceful Cabin/Mnt. Views/King Bed/5 min. to town

JamieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

What a beautiful cabin and stay in Julian. The home has everything you need with clear information and local recommendations. We had a warmer weekend and although no central air, the open windows and plenty of fans cooled everything down, especially at night. My in laws loved the home and used the TV, we didn’t cook but the kitchen seemed to have everyone one would need! We did have coffee every morning and enjoyed the view. We would stay here again if we ever come back to Julian.
